Yes, she messaged me, too.
After Whitefox’s store closed on Etsy, I E Mailed her to make sure she could still send an Evelyne insert. When she mailed my insert (which was ordered a day before the invasion of Ukraine), she said Russians are bypassing the postal block by delivering parcels through China.
As for payment on this new site, I noticed the website requests bank transfers (which means using a bank number). I don’t know how that’ll work given the transfer process has been blocked by sanctions. Not only that, but for some reason I’ve been getting a lot of ‘Bot’ E Mails, so my daughter researched my account and found recent Russian spam ties. I’m now nervous about ordering anything from Russia.
I wish Whitefox wasn’t located in Russia for a number of reasons—her workmanship is excellent.
Best of luck. If you order from her, please let us know what happens.
Quoting all the above messages because I’m having the same worry/deliberation… I have bought all my custom inserts from White Fox and love Julia’s work. And when she closed her Etsy shop, she messaged me with her new link and email, but from what I can tell, that site doesn’t seem secure/protected like Etsy is. Thus far I’ve been too hesitant to order from the new site and these messages make me even more so. But I’m sorta bumping into a dead end finding anything even remotely similar and really want to have a liner to protect the inside of my new etoupe Evelyne. So, has anyone ordered from her new site without spam/phishing or other financial issues?
There aren’t any other sellers I can fine (anywhere, and oh have I hunted!) who do the same kind of thin-but-structured inserts in linen. I’m thinking of going with Senamon if I can’t get any assurance that the new White Fox site will work, but I really don’t prefer a felt organizer and the higher end ones (like 7rp and MaiTai) are way too thick for my taste and eat up too much usable room in the bag. Advice, input please?
